I have a hard time reading short story collections from cover to cover but I read all of the nine stories effortlessly and on a whole really enjoyed that book. I'm sorry that because I read it three years ago I can't tell which story was what save for the bananafish one so I can't recommend specific ones to you.

Hey, you seem like a cool guy, with good taste and your own unique style, which is cool. But you're also a massive douche to everyone. I don't think JD would act like that, despite his reclusiveness.

Maybe you'll change, once his religious manual is released.

Read them all. Though my personal favourites were Bananafish, Teddy, Down at the Dhingy, and Uncle Wigly (those last lines uhhhhhhhh).

But yeah, like someone else said, Franny and Zooey (particularly Zooey) are the best. I sure hope you believe in God when you read them though.
